Oct 18, 2009 Bottle, from Bevmo. Really nice looking beer. Deep amber color. Really hazy, yeasty pour. Aroma is of citrus and spice. Flavor is really really sweet. Muted hops, and a really thick mouthfeel. Not bad, not great. Reminded me of 90 minute IPA, actually.

Oct 13, 2009 Bright orange hued cloudy straw body. Sickly sweet malt backbone lowlighted by caramel. Almost zero carbonation. Astringent and soapy with smackdown of stewed compost-bin veggies.

Oct 8, 2009 Bottle: Pours a hazy orange color with a white head. The nose is sweet and hoppy with lots of earthy notes, alcohol and syrupy maltiness. The flavor shows a lot of promise in the bitterness department but the large body overpowers this and it seems a little middle-of-the-road for a IIPA. I had high hopes for this one, being one of their highest gravity beers to date. Sweeter finish and a thick overall impression.

Oct 6, 2009 12oz Bottle Pours out a hazy orange topped with a small sand head. Lots of caramel sweetness along with some pine hops. Taste more of the sweetness, some melon and a nice grapefruit peel bitterness on the end.

Oct 5, 2009 This is fairly enjoyable, fairly rich with a firm character, but too sweet and one-dimensional.
Pale orange, a little hazy, it has a small off-white head that dissipates slowly to a foamy ring and wisps. It leaves a tiny bit of lace.
The aroma is very fresh grapefruit juice with fresh orange juice and tangerine rind over some raisiny alcohol.
The taste is extremely sweet and mostly just grapefruit and orange. There is a little hint of bitterness and light spiciness, both mostly in the finish and aftertaste. The syrupy sweetness completely are overpows them both. Alcohol is evident but not too much. It’s oily, syrupy, and heavy. The flavours are good and strong, never degarding, but tastes only like slightly alcoholic orange-grapefruit syrup. It lacks complexity or interest or balance.

Oct 3, 2009 Pours orange. Nose is sweet malt first, then big hops. Citrus and pine, hints of floral hops. Flavor is toasted and sweet caramel with lingering bitter hops.

Oct 3, 2009 10/2/09 notes: poured at GABF Saturday. Color is vibrant orange, with an average head. Aroma is fruity-tangerine, with orange and bubble gum-like esters. Flavor starts bold and hoppy, with a pleasant balanced hop finish. Malt is present throughout, adding buttery sweetness, and is tastefully set back against the hops. I’d like to try this again.
